I’ve listened to many hours of his show, his interviews with far right types like Gavin McInnes and Stephen Molyneux. I had to in order to talk a friend down from some really dark thinking he was encouraged toward through Rogan’s show. But I’m sure that when I heard him denigrating Muslims or talking about how trans women are actually just confused gay men, I just needed to listen more “thoroughly.”
I grew up in the rural Midwest in a working class family, so spare me your appeals to the “reality of America.” Not all of us are as hateful as the right-wing grifters whose images Rogan helps launder.
